I think the plants I've seen categorized as wandering jew do not tend to just drip down in the way that I imagine you are wanting. The ones I have stick up in the air, even if they don't have anything to stick roots into. I only have two or three plants that I've heard in any context called "wandering jew," so I'd maybe wait for somebody else to corroborate or correct my thoughts on these plants.

NEHERP has a section on trailing plants that are inexpensive. I have only ever bought one of them; I can't remember its name, but it is very hardy and it just sort of trails down the sides of my viv. I replanted it in a new viv in this photo, although it hasn't had time to grow much:

^It's the green, tear-shaped-leaf plant descending from the driftwood like locks of hair.

As far as the survival of the plants goes, I don't see any immediate problem.

If you're asking for aesthetic suggestions, I might complicate the surface of the substrate a little more, make it look like a messy, natural scene. Maybe put some big rocks or branches or cork, or something natural. That's up to you.

I feel like I’ve adopted and perpetuated this idea of having ~20% ventilation. If you got a 36x14.5 piece that’s damn close. Then get a screen making kit for the other 4.5 inches. Much easier to be able to access or remove something that size.

The chance of an aquarium top fitting an ExoTerra well enough to prevent frog escapes is remote at best; 36 x 18 is the nominal size of the tank itself, and only approximates the size of the tank/viv.

For glass, yes 1/4 inch from an actual glass shop is best. You can order glass online, too. I've ordered from these folks before:https://www.onedayglass.com/

The cheap and easy way (which I do, although I do know how to cut glass) is to cut plexiglass inserts to fit on the Exo top, in the screen areas, simply set on top of the screen. Easy to cut (table saw is best but a utility knife works); I cut a few different depths (front to back) so that I can insert a larger/smaller piece for differing ventilation needs depending on season or the specific needs of a certain viv. Yes, they warp from the humidity differential; I clean them every couple weeks and then flip them over so they warp the other way. With the screens in place, the warping isn't an issue at all.
